Change History

6th makes for a significant mpg increase, and there's no sense of the engine lugging as such; just the usual induction noise changes. On level roads it's fine, and on a local rural parkway (the Taconic) it gets you up hills at 55-60 mph with no problem. I'm in for the night and have an early day tomorrow, so I'll get back to you later with the rpm and OBC stuff in some detail. I reset the consumption right after getting gas the other day and I saw a readout of 31.3 for a few seconds. This was at 40 or so in 5th and a bit of 6th. It's amusing to reset it while going downhill on a highway and seeing, if I correctly recall, something like 60 mpg. The mileage is actually closer to 19k, like 18,8xx. Gotta take a good look at the rear tread depth tomorrow.
